This entry is interesting because it explains something else that happened: in fourth grade, we were assigned to make a clay object that could be fired in a kiln.
In my infinite wisdom, I designed an ashtray with a tooth brush holder in the middle of it. It sounds so absurd now but back in the 1960s everyone smoked so there were ashtrays everywhere!
So the "lava dish with a volcano in the middle which was an ashtray" may have been my inspiration for a combination toothbrush holder / ashtray.
I bet my teachers and parents got a great laugh out of my submission.
